pattiyāñ ho ga.iiñ harī dekho
ḳhud se bāhar bhī to kabhī dekho
phir khilī kyā koī kalī dekho
shor hai kyuuñ galī galī dekho
yaad aur yaad ko bhulāne meñ
umr kī fasl kaT ga.ī dekho
maar koī shikār par niklā
dasht meñ raushnī huī dekho
raat kī raakh muñh pe mal mal kar
sub.h kitnī sañvar ga.ī dekho
sub.h kī fikr ba.ad meñ karnā
raat kitnī guzar ga.ī dekho
zindagī kis tarah tumhārī 'nizām'
uljhanoñ se ulajh ga.ī dekho
